SH> Why in the hell would someone fire a $5000-plus missile in an attempt
SH> to take out a few troops? The TOW is used from a standing overwatch
SH> position against enemy -armor-. YOUR armor batallion is assigned the

SH> The accompanying friendly troops are there to take out the enemy
SH> personnel.
Yea, & suppose you had a big wad of TOW & there wasn't any advancing armor,
only anvancing infantry that greatly out numbered your accompanying
friendly troops by massive margins . . . . ?
SH> I -know- the manner and method of deploying the TOW. It is -useless-
SH> as an anti-personnel weapon.
I don't think you could exactly fire it between someone's feet & have the
shaped charge just cut harmlessly into the mud . . . . . do you?
